“Hole in the Wall” Gameplay

I don’t know how many people read all the comments, but one reader, Travis, recently went to a taping of FOX’s big money Youtube video Hole in the Wall and posted about the game play.  Yes, it is indeed everything I expected.  Below is what he had to say.

Here’s how game play goes. Two teams of three people (guys v. girls, at least in the two eps that I saw) clad in skin-tight silver spandex (which leaves very little to the imagination). Four rounds total…

Round 1: 1-person Wall. Team captain makes it thru for 1 point.
Round 2: 2-person Wall. Other two teammates make it thru for 2 points.
Round 3: 3-person Wall. All three teammates make it thru for 3 points.
(Any number of players less than required = 0 points)

Round 4: 3-person Wall…moving at Double Speed. Any player thru gets 2 points…all three thru for 6 points and $5000 bonus.

Team with highest score (max possible: 12 pts.) wins $25,000 and plays the Blind Wall for $100,000.

Blind Wall: 1-person Wall. Player wears “Blackout Goggles” and has to rely on teammates’ instructions to get thru the wall.

All players playing must be within the marked “PLAY AREA” when the Wall reaches them for the wall to count. Otherwise, it’s “Not Clear.” Likewise if the Wall is cleared, but “too much” of the Wall is destroyed in the process.
